Rev. J. Leonard Carroll, pastor
of the Temple Baptist Church in
Rockford, Illinois and a member
of the Conference Board of Educa-tion,
will be the speaker for the
combined chapel services through-out
the week.
Seminars will be held in the
evening from 7:00 to 8:30. Monday
the seminars will be on science
work; Tuesday, medical science
and mass communication; Thurs-day,
public school teaching and
government service; Friday, min-istry
and business.
This is the first vocations week
to be held on campus with the
purpose of enabling students to
become acquainted with the range
of occupational opportunities open
to them and to appreciate the
possibilities for serving Christ in
many fields. Seminary men will
also participate in the meetings to
gain a better idea of the layman's
ministry and contribution to the
work of the church.
February 10 the planning com-mittee
took a vocational interest
survey of college students by
means of checklists handed out
in chapel. Results of this survey
were used in preparing the pro-gram.
From the 213 returns, 89
were interested in the ministry
(including 39 for "pastorate" and
16 for "foreign missions"); 85
were interested in public school
teaching; 55 voted for social work;
42 were interested in college
teaching; and radio and television
work claimed 30 votes. Other
votes were well scattered among
more than forty other fields of
interest.

It Happened
On Skid Row
by Don Richardson
"I got a problem!" snarled a coatless fellow at me in the front cor-ridor
of a Washington Avenue rescue mission. I merely stepped in for
a minute to warm myself before continuing to pass out tracts and talk
to some more of the fellows on the Row.
The man who "had the problem" was clean-shaven and sober. He
did smell liquor though. I sat down beside him, and for half an hour we
talked about his problem — and it was a problem.
He had been a marine during the Second World War and had seen
action in the Philippines, New Guinea, and several other theatres of
Pacific warfare. There were about four hundred men in his battalion.
Only six of these returned alive — five were then in hospitals leaving
only this fellow able to walk.
"I wasn't any hero." He kept telling me, "All I did was my job.
Was that wrong?"
In the course of his active duty, he killed some thirty-four Jap-anese
soldiers. Each of these must have had a family much like his
own. He featured their widows and fatherless children hunting hungrily
to exist — in much the same way he had actually seen Philippine or-phans
and widows going about their starving business.
The entire picture of his actions was repeatedly played in his mind.
It haunted him. "Can God ever forgive me? What I want to know, kid,
is can God forgive me?" At this point he was almost frantic.
Seldom have I seen such a truly earnest sincerity. He really meant
busbies. We talked for sometimes about what it means to accept Christ.
Somehow I felt no prompting to force him into an on-the-spot decision.
I left him still graciously clutching onto the two tracts he had more
than willingly promised to read and myself walked back to the car "a
sadder and wiser man."
by Ronald Palosaari
"What do I do now, Mister?" the shabby but fairly clean man asked
Rev. Moore, director of the Union Gospel Mission in Minneapolis. The
questioneer was the third one who had come down the aisle. There
were at least 30 Bethel students in the beautiful choir loft of that mis-sion
on Sunday night. They had provided special music and some were
now dealing with the men who had come forward to find out more
about Christianity and possibly to put their trust in Christ. All the stu-dents
could remember the first man who had come forward that even-ing.
He was an Indian fellow. The students had been interested and
thrilled to see that the appeal of Christ is not to just one group but all
can be interested in Christ's salvation. The students could easily note
that man. The third one up the aisle was the man who had asked the
question. He had revealed almost pitiful lack of knowledge in Christi-anity.
The students could easily remember that man. But what about
the second man who had come forward?
The inquiring man had been tactfully led into a side room so that
the way of salvation could be explained more fully to them. They were
out of sight of most of the students. The Indian fellow and the ques-tioneer
were still in everyone's mind but it was easy to forget the sec-ond
felloW. He was dressed nondiscriptly. He was of average height. He
had come forward quietly. It would be hard to remember him. But after-wards
the Bethel students noted that man the most. Eric Warnstrom
was the student who came out of the choir loft to deal with the second
man. The man had tried to talk to Eric but he was unfamiliar, clumsy,
almost helpless in expressing himself in English. Then Eric recognized
the accent. He spoke to the man in his mother tongue, Finnish. The
man, surprised at hearing his own language, talked back to Eric. To-gether
they talked of Christ and prayed to God in the Finish language.
Eric sight translated some of the Bible verses for the man.
That man had come down the aisle probably because he had under-stood
enough to know there was a possibly better way of life. Maybe
even as he came down the thought flashed through his mind it would
be hard to express himself in English. Yet an unknown young man had
come down and talked to him in his own language. It must have seemed
a miracle to him.
Eric did not know the situation when he stepped to help the man.
Yet, he was the only one on the platform who could speak Finnish.
A person would hate to figure the mathematical probability of that
situation ; A strange language, a man coming forward seemingly by
chance; a student stepping down from the choir loft seemingly by
chance — but they met and talked and prayed together as they could
have with no one else in that group.
Should this be called a miracle? Many would scoff at this. Others
may wonder. The important thing has quite possibly been accomplished.
A man has had an experience with Christ because the right student had
been willing to serve at the right time.

finis of Thought
by President Wingblade
I am sure that thoughts of Bethel Students, now and then, in the
quietness of evening hours—go back to the old home. They visualize
Mother and Daddy busy about their homely duties, or at the evening
meal, or in silent reading or meditation.
They are thinking often of son or daughter and praying, and maybe
sacrificing. They half expect to hear the sound of steps or voices still,
but then they remember that the boy or girl has gone to Bethel.
But they do miss and they wonder just what they are doing—and
hope that they are doing well. Of course they deserve not to be disap-pointed.
The next thing to the presence of the loved one is a letter in the
mailbox. They know just when the mail is coming and so they watch
and wait and hope.
It does not take long to write a little note home—even on a post
card. The message need not contain anything unusual or startling, but
it is from son or daughter and therefore it is welcome—and thrilling.
All right. How many times have you written home since you left?
In future years, when mother or daddy may be gone, you will never
regret that you warmed their hearts with this kind of remembrance.
I think I shall quote again from the experience of one who some-time
failed in this,—for it may help us to be more faithful:
"I found a little record of her days
At the old home. A few short lines
Each day were all she wrote. My mother's ways
Were simple. When she planted columbines
She put it down; the day she set a hen;
The little calf she weaned from mother-cow;
Her daily household tasks, or when
She visited the sick . . .But 0, somehow
One line apart from others seems to stand—
"I went to the post office" she would say . .
I look upon it—here in her own hand—
That one short line she wrote from day to day.
Dear God, on high, can Mother see tonight
These tears for letters that I failed to write?"
Elsie Duncan Sanders
Ronnie and Stretch
by Axel (as told to Wayne McArthur)
Bliss, bliss, all has been bliss since ariving here. Ronnie and
Stretch have been so good to me; they got me enrolled in Bethel.
(Little does the faculty know that I'm the missing link . . . but Ronnie
and Stretch know).
Say! Have you noticed how Stretch's arms hang down towards his
knees when he walks now? And notice the heavy hair on Ronnie's
arms, too. In spite of these growing distinctions these wonderful
cousins have fixed me up with a girl. Isn't that nice of 'em?
But that's not all! They've got me enrolled in their favorite class
with them, lawn-mower sharpening. We're planning a three-way part-nership
this summer with two branches (not related to Darwin). Ronnie
will sharpen in the basement of the girl's dormitory and Stretch will
set-up over at Northwestern Schools. I, being a brilliant student of
forensics, will do the sales-work.
Boy! Are they ever shrewd! They taught me how to make the
most of my time in the cafeteria. I can hold hands with the girl in
front of me and the girl in back of me and eat with my tail. That was
Ronnie's idea. Stretch, not to be out done by his accomplice, taught me
to eat with both hands and pick pockets with my tail. (We have to do
something to pay our tuition since Pop thought we were poor risks).
Much to my humiliation I caught them looking at some second hand
organ-grinders at Monkey-Wards. But I absolutely refused that kind of
a set-up.
We got the idea of singing after dubbing for the operatic team,
Jethro and Homer. We think we'll be able to make it through next
quarter with the profits received from this engagement.
A Day of Prayer
by Bud Lee
Following a recommendation of
the Religious Council regarding a
Day of Prayer on Bethel's campus
at the beginning of next quarter,
the Policy Committee has acted on
this suggestion and has set
Wednesday, March 24, as the Day
of Prayer.
Many times in the past, the
Bethel family has met together in
this way to bring before God needs
and problems common to us all.
God has always seen fit to honor
our petitions and to bless our
school at these times. We, even as
those who have gone- before, need
God's help and guidance in our
lives and in our school. And with
many matters pressing— the
choosing of a new dean, illness
among our faculty and students,
the responsibilities of a new quar-ter's
work, and numerous other
problems large and small—we are
impelled to pray.
On this day, the second of the
On the Limb
with Axel
by Stretch and Ronnie
Since he's been at Bethel, Axel,
my pet chimpanzee, has wanted to
make some true buddies. A week
ago Tuesday he bought a '38
Dodge. The day he got it he had
to cut Freshman Conference to re-polish
the spark plugs. It took him
a couple days to find out that a
car was more than gas and oil and
friends. By just looking around he
knew he needed some accessories.
He installed dual exhausts, blue
dot tail lights, and an automatic
garbage disposal unit. Last Fri-day
he, of course, signed up with
Glendenning for a forty - hour - a -
week job. Since he got the job
he's been looking at new Chrys-lers.
Last Saturday Axel went to see
"Pygmalion" in the college chapel.
He didn't stay long though. The
lion scared him so much that he
threw down his pop corn, jumped
through the nearest window, and
sat shivering on the flag pole for
two hours. Not knowing Axel's
jungle background, most of the
students dismissed this as an ex-treme
case of taboo conscience.
Just recently an advertising man
gave Axel twenty-five dollars just
because of his new crew cut. Axel
was happy to have the man take
his picture for a big magazine —
especially with a Bethel girl stand,
ing next to him. The man told
them that their picture would be
in a half-page ad with a caption,
"Which twin has the Toni?"
Ever since he's been at Bethel
Axel has been writing to his girl
back home in South Ubangi. Not
until a couple weeks ago did Axel
realize that he wasn't going steady
with his African sweetheart. He
would never have realized it then
had it not been that he carefully
observed those going steady at
Bethel. Up till that time he and
his girl had been risking their ro-mance
by never exchanging rings.
Neither even had a ring. Axel
lost no time in hustling down to
a Skid Row pawn shop. He bought
two rings. One was about the size
of a silver dollar. In keeping witk
the custom as he saw it, Axel
wound eleven band-aids around
one side of this larger ring and
sent it special delivery to his
chimp girl. The other ring was
about the size of a worn dime,
and he squeezed this tightly over
the first joint of his little finger.
Now he feels much safer.
new spring quarter, a brief mes-sage
will be given in the united
chapel followed by a season of
prayer together. Classes will run
as usual with a session of prayeL
in each class — as long as seems
wise. There will be noon prayer
meetings and other prayer meet-ings
scheduled throughout the day
at various places on campus, cli-maxed
by a vesper service in the
chapel. Here another brief mes-sage
will be given.
Many times it has been said,
"Prayer changes things." We be-lieve
that it is true. May our lives
and our school be changed! May
we take on a deeper and brighter
aspect for our wonderful Lord as
we pray together!
Let us be faithful in keeping this
day and praying for its impact for
Jesus Christ on our campus and on
others to whom our influence
reaches.

Pictured above are eight members from the Girls' Chorus in their
new light blue robes. Through the help of the girls and the school, the
chorus was able to purchase forty-two robes from the E. R. Moore
Company. This is a big step toward the maintenance of a permanent
Girls' Chorus.
Tonight will be the first campus appearance of the girls in their
new robes. However, they wore them last Sunday evening when they
gave a Sacred Concert at Elim Baptist Church in Minneapolis.

Plans Made for
Prospecti•v e Students
Norris Magnuson has been pla-ced
in charge of plans for Pros-pective
Student Days, which will
be April 14 and 15, the Wednes-day
and Thursday before Easter.
During the weekend between
quarters, letters will be sent to
the individuals who have request
ed information and to those sug-gested
by conference pastors.
An attempt is being made to
limit the attendance to graduates
and seniors (though not altogether
excluding juniors) and those who
have not been here before. This
limitation is due to the lack of
space. Bunks will be set up in the
boys' dorm recreation room, and
as many prospective students as
possible will share individual
rooms with the regular students.
Committees are being named to
handle transportation, programs,
campus tours, and discussions.
Sbindo to Speak

Frank Shindo, seminary senior
and experienced photographer, has
chosen "Composition of Photo-graphs"
as his topic for the next
Camera Club meeting.
Tomorrow evening, March 13, at

meeting which will be held in
room 109 of the college building.
All students interested in pic-ture

Five wins and one loss is the
record for the girls' basketball
team so far this year. Although
the boys' basketball season is over,
the girls still have more games
scheduled. The toughest game yet
remaining to be played is a return
game with Augsburg who defeated
Bethel during the first encounter.
The team has had a very suc-cessful
season beating Fairview

B. Season Ends
The unheralded Bethel B bas-ketball
squad has finished its sea-son
with a much improved ball
club over its shapeless beginnings.
Under the direction of assistant
varsity-coach, Lynn Lundin, the
team showed the progress that al-lowed
them to finish the season
with a respectable won-lost record.
Earlier in the season the B
squad was having a very hard time
winding up on the right side of
the score board. The development
of John Walberg and Paul Sand-berg
caught on to winning ways.
Howard Johnson was always a
steadying influence and Jay Dik-kers
filled the hole especially
well. Jim MacFayden started B
squad and showed enough im-provement
to earn a varsity suit.
Don Quarnstrom, who hit many
points from out, was also a valu-able
asset to the team before his
injury.
Dave Seaquist, Paul Berg, Donn
Goss, Ron Skoog, John Berg, Carl
Sundeen, John Walberg, Fred
Thomas, Richard Pearson, Don
Helton, Douglas Dalton, Jay Dik-kers,
Dale Nystrom, James Long,
Dale Shellman, Lavern Peterson,
Cliff Schroeder, and Bud Brayton.
Basketball letters were awarded
to Frank Burleson, William Con-rad,
Harold Erickson, Howard
John- on, Eugene Messenger (co-captain),
Paul Redin (co-captain),

Li'l Gorry the groundhog i s
soon going to be poking his head
from his hole for the third time
this school year at Bethel. The
athletic department, who knows
Li'l Gorry can't stand much ab-using,
has been waiting all year
for a chance to grab him . . . and
hang on. In fact, the news-scoop
is that they've acquired a rope
with a new type of chemical make-up
which contains a secret radical
known as "P.E." (Editor's note:
Li'l Gorry is of the phylum "Win-ningstreekis,"
not "Losingaspirit-niss.")
___ In the meantime, however, Li'l
Gorry is quite perturbed about the
complexity of his previous "above
the terra firma" episodes. He
came out of his hole last fall righr
in the middle of the football-field.
Such confusion! A gang of brutes
romped all over the field kick-ing
a pig around. Li'l Gorry, in
the midst of his frustration, was
mistaken for the pig and the
brutes battered him back and forth
for the entire third quarter. That
was it! Li'l Gorry crawled back
into his hole for the rest of the
season.
_.The second time Li'l Gorry came
out was in the middle of the Beth-el
field-house. The place was in
an uproar with lights so bright
he could hardly see anything.
Sometimes he couldn't see at all.
"B" Leaders &
Spring Sports
At a recent letterman's meeting
Norman Moore, a junior, was
elected president of the "Letter-man's
Club." Bruce Steinhaus was
elected vice - president and Jay
Dikkers and Carl Sundeen were
elected to positions of secretary
arid trea=3urer. These new officers,
with the counseling of Coaches
Del Ray Peterson and Lynn Lun-din,
have already swung into ac-tion
for a brilliant Royal future.
The first action to follow their
election was the athletic chapel
program at which the athletic a-wards
of the year were presented.
The second action was the estab-lishing
of a date and place for the
athletic banquet this spring. The
date set is April 10th.
But more important action than
those things already mentioned is
the creation of full-hearted inter-est
in the current schedule of
spring sports. The competition is
not push-over with any event of
any of the sports included. Base-ball
prospects are good! And with
a few lettermen back on the ten-nis
court again there's new encour-agement
for the new enthusiasts.
Track and golf are ready to flare,
too. But, it takes practice, prac-tice,
and more practice for a win-ning
team . . . and now. Presideni
Norman Moore urges all those in-terested
to sign up now in the
field house, or see Coach Del Ray
Peterson.
Once, in a state of this tempor-ary
blindness, he fell into a crack
(even though it's a new field-house)
and just decided to stay
there until he felt "good and
ready" to come out.
The lettermen's club sent him
a note the other day and invited
him to the athletic banquet. They
hope to influence him to stay on
the top side through the spring
quarter. But Li'l Garry answered
their invitation with this note:
"i'd rilly luv to cum up 'n travul
crose-cuntree, umpyre basebawl,
shute a burdy in golf, take a set
of tennus; but yu'd haf to rope me
gud befer I'd stey."
Contained herein lie the moans, groans, and the latest SKEE-RUTs
to hit the athletic aspiranteers of the Bethel Royal's fanfare . . Jim
MacFayden has been voted the "Hostess with the Mostess" for the
Edgren third floor party-line. On the grid-field he vied to hold a line
for just one play; at Edgren he can hold on for an hour. SKEE-RUT!
.. . A little bucket ball says that Don Stipe has adopted "The Ninety
and Nine" as his No. 1 concern now. But another little bucket ball
says "It Is No Secret" where the 100th is. SKEE-RUT! . .. Since there
was not enough snow for skiing and ski-jumps this winter, a few
notorious "Royaleers" decided to try a few runs down the clothes-chute.
The only casualties listed were a few secret bruises and peeled
knees. The sport was dropped (literally) when coach Wally Peterson
called for a substitution. SKEE-RUT! . . . Donn (Juan) Goss finagled
a '52 Blue Dragon. Immediately he established a "no lend" policy. He
learned from others—others live and learn. SKEE-RUT! . . . Ed Brun-zell
vowed a life-time contract with "barberous" Eric Borgeson and
Gene Messenger as first assistant. The contract includes no bowls, no
clippers, no experience, just scissors and lots of fingers. SKEE-RUT!
. . . "Dauntless" Dalton saw his reflection in a glass the other day. He
did the only natural thing he could think of. It took the king's men
thirty some stitches to put him together again. SKEE-RUT! . . • Duane
Pople wants his name in the CLARION—so does Jay Dikkers. SKEE-RUT!
. . . The greatest tragedy in Edgren is found in the room where
they can't prevent the smell of pop-corn from floating down the hall-way—
nobody "nose" the trouble they've been having. That room's
a "Paradise Lost." SKEET-RUT! .

It Happened
On Skid Row
by Don Richardson
"I got a problem!" snarled a coatless fellow at me in the front cor-ridor
of a Washington Avenue rescue mission. I merely stepped in for
a minute to warm myself before continuing to pass out tracts and talk
to some more of the fellows on the Row.
The man who "had the problem" was clean-shaven and sober. He
did smell liquor though. I sat down beside him, and for half an hour we
talked about his problem — and it was a problem.
He had been a marine during the Second World War and had seen
action in the Philippines, New Guinea, and several other theatres of
Pacific warfare. There were about four hundred men in his battalion.
Only six of these returned alive — five were then in hospitals leaving
only this fellow able to walk.
"I wasn't any hero." He kept telling me, "All I did was my job.
Was that wrong?"
In the course of his active duty, he killed some thirty-four Jap-anese
soldiers. Each of these must have had a family much like his
own. He featured their widows and fatherless children hunting hungrily
to exist — in much the same way he had actually seen Philippine or-phans
and widows going about their starving business.
The entire picture of his actions was repeatedly played in his mind.
It haunted him. "Can God ever forgive me? What I want to know, kid,
is can God forgive me?" At this point he was almost frantic.
Seldom have I seen such a truly earnest sincerity. He really meant
busbies. We talked for sometimes about what it means to accept Christ.
Somehow I felt no prompting to force him into an on-the-spot decision.
I left him still graciously clutching onto the two tracts he had more
than willingly promised to read and myself walked back to the car "a
sadder and wiser man."
by Ronald Palosaari
"What do I do now, Mister?" the shabby but fairly clean man asked
Rev. Moore, director of the Union Gospel Mission in Minneapolis. The
questioneer was the third one who had come down the aisle. There
were at least 30 Bethel students in the beautiful choir loft of that mis-sion
on Sunday night. They had provided special music and some were
now dealing with the men who had come forward to find out more
about Christianity and possibly to put their trust in Christ. All the stu-dents
could remember the first man who had come forward that even-ing.
He was an Indian fellow. The students had been interested and
thrilled to see that the appeal of Christ is not to just one group but all
can be interested in Christ's salvation. The students could easily note
that man. The third one up the aisle was the man who had asked the
question. He had revealed almost pitiful lack of knowledge in Christi-anity.
The students could easily remember that man. But what about
the second man who had come forward?
The inquiring man had been tactfully led into a side room so that
the way of salvation could be explained more fully to them. They were
out of sight of most of the students. The Indian fellow and the ques-tioneer
were still in everyone's mind but it was easy to forget the sec-ond
felloW. He was dressed nondiscriptly. He was of average height. He
had come forward quietly. It would be hard to remember him. But after-wards
the Bethel students noted that man the most. Eric Warnstrom
was the student who came out of the choir loft to deal with the second
man. The man had tried to talk to Eric but he was unfamiliar, clumsy,
almost helpless in expressing himself in English. Then Eric recognized
the accent. He spoke to the man in his mother tongue, Finnish. The
man, surprised at hearing his own language, talked back to Eric. To-gether
they talked of Christ and prayed to God in the Finish language.
Eric sight translated some of the Bible verses for the man.
That man had come down the aisle probably because he had under-stood
enough to know there was a possibly better way of life. Maybe
even as he came down the thought flashed through his mind it would
be hard to express himself in English. Yet an unknown young man had
come down and talked to him in his own language. It must have seemed
a miracle to him.
Eric did not know the situation when he stepped to help the man.
Yet, he was the only one on the platform who could speak Finnish.
A person would hate to figure the mathematical probability of that
situation ; A strange language, a man coming forward seemingly by
chance; a student stepping down from the choir loft seemingly by
chance — but they met and talked and prayed together as they could
have with no one else in that group.
Should this be called a miracle? Many would scoff at this. Others
may wonder. The important thing has quite possibly been accomplished.
A man has had an experience with Christ because the right student had
been willing to serve at the right time.

finis of Thought
by President Wingblade
I am sure that thoughts of Bethel Students, now and then, in the
quietness of evening hours—go back to the old home. They visualize
Mother and Daddy busy about their homely duties, or at the evening
meal, or in silent reading or meditation.
They are thinking often of son or daughter and praying, and maybe
sacrificing. They half expect to hear the sound of steps or voices still,
but then they remember that the boy or girl has gone to Bethel.
But they do miss and they wonder just what they are doing—and
hope that they are doing well. Of course they deserve not to be disap-pointed.
The next thing to the presence of the loved one is a letter in the
mailbox. They know just when the mail is coming and so they watch
and wait and hope.
It does not take long to write a little note home—even on a post
card. The message need not contain anything unusual or startling, but
it is from son or daughter and therefore it is welcome—and thrilling.
All right. How many times have you written home since you left?
In future years, when mother or daddy may be gone, you will never
regret that you warmed their hearts with this kind of remembrance.
I think I shall quote again from the experience of one who some-time
failed in this,—for it may help us to be more faithful:
"I found a little record of her days
At the old home. A few short lines
Each day were all she wrote. My mother's ways
Were simple. When she planted columbines
She put it down; the day she set a hen;
The little calf she weaned from mother-cow;
Her daily household tasks, or when
She visited the sick . . .But 0, somehow
One line apart from others seems to stand—
"I went to the post office" she would say . .
I look upon it—here in her own hand—
That one short line she wrote from day to day.
Dear God, on high, can Mother see tonight
These tears for letters that I failed to write?"
Elsie Duncan Sanders
Ronnie and Stretch
by Axel (as told to Wayne McArthur)
Bliss, bliss, all has been bliss since ariving here. Ronnie and
Stretch have been so good to me; they got me enrolled in Bethel.
(Little does the faculty know that I'm the missing link . . . but Ronnie
and Stretch know).
Say! Have you noticed how Stretch's arms hang down towards his
knees when he walks now? And notice the heavy hair on Ronnie's
arms, too. In spite of these growing distinctions these wonderful
cousins have fixed me up with a girl. Isn't that nice of 'em?
But that's not all! They've got me enrolled in their favorite class
with them, lawn-mower sharpening. We're planning a three-way part-nership
this summer with two branches (not related to Darwin). Ronnie
will sharpen in the basement of the girl's dormitory and Stretch will
set-up over at Northwestern Schools. I, being a brilliant student of
forensics, will do the sales-work.
Boy! Are they ever shrewd! They taught me how to make the
most of my time in the cafeteria. I can hold hands with the girl in
front of me and the girl in back of me and eat with my tail. That was
Ronnie's idea. Stretch, not to be out done by his accomplice, taught me
to eat with both hands and pick pockets with my tail. (We have to do
something to pay our tuition since Pop thought we were poor risks).
Much to my humiliation I caught them looking at some second hand
organ-grinders at Monkey-Wards. But I absolutely refused that kind of
a set-up.
We got the idea of singing after dubbing for the operatic team,
Jethro and Homer. We think we'll be able to make it through next
quarter with the profits received from this engagement.
A Day of Prayer
by Bud Lee
Following a recommendation of
the Religious Council regarding a
Day of Prayer on Bethel's campus
at the beginning of next quarter,
the Policy Committee has acted on
this suggestion and has set
Wednesday, March 24, as the Day
of Prayer.
Many times in the past, the
Bethel family has met together in
this way to bring before God needs
and problems common to us all.
God has always seen fit to honor
our petitions and to bless our
school at these times. We, even as
those who have gone- before, need
God's help and guidance in our
lives and in our school. And with
many matters pressing— the
choosing of a new dean, illness
among our faculty and students,
the responsibilities of a new quar-ter's
work, and numerous other
problems large and small—we are
impelled to pray.
On this day, the second of the
On the Limb
with Axel
by Stretch and Ronnie
Since he's been at Bethel, Axel,
my pet chimpanzee, has wanted to
make some true buddies. A week
ago Tuesday he bought a '38
Dodge. The day he got it he had
to cut Freshman Conference to re-polish
the spark plugs. It took him
a couple days to find out that a
car was more than gas and oil and
friends. By just looking around he
knew he needed some accessories.
He installed dual exhausts, blue
dot tail lights, and an automatic
garbage disposal unit. Last Fri-day
he, of course, signed up with
Glendenning for a forty - hour - a -
week job. Since he got the job
he's been looking at new Chrys-lers.
Last Saturday Axel went to see
"Pygmalion" in the college chapel.
He didn't stay long though. The
lion scared him so much that he
threw down his pop corn, jumped
through the nearest window, and
sat shivering on the flag pole for
two hours. Not knowing Axel's
jungle background, most of the
students dismissed this as an ex-treme
case of taboo conscience.
Just recently an advertising man
gave Axel twenty-five dollars just
because of his new crew cut. Axel
was happy to have the man take
his picture for a big magazine —
especially with a Bethel girl stand,
ing next to him. The man told
them that their picture would be
in a half-page ad with a caption,
"Which twin has the Toni?"
Ever since he's been at Bethel
Axel has been writing to his girl
back home in South Ubangi. Not
until a couple weeks ago did Axel
realize that he wasn't going steady
with his African sweetheart. He
would never have realized it then
had it not been that he carefully
observed those going steady at
Bethel. Up till that time he and
his girl had been risking their ro-mance
by never exchanging rings.
Neither even had a ring. Axel
lost no time in hustling down to
a Skid Row pawn shop. He bought
two rings. One was about the size
of a silver dollar. In keeping witk
the custom as he saw it, Axel
wound eleven band-aids around
one side of this larger ring and
sent it special delivery to his
chimp girl. The other ring was
about the size of a worn dime,
and he squeezed this tightly over
the first joint of his little finger.
Now he feels much safer.
new spring quarter, a brief mes-sage
will be given in the united
chapel followed by a season of
prayer together. Classes will run
as usual with a session of prayeL
in each class — as long as seems
wise. There will be noon prayer
meetings and other prayer meet-ings
scheduled throughout the day
at various places on campus, cli-maxed
by a vesper service in the
chapel. Here another brief mes-sage
will be given.
Many times it has been said,
"Prayer changes things." We be-lieve
that it is true. May our lives
and our school be changed! May
we take on a deeper and brighter
aspect for our wonderful Lord as
we pray together!
Let us be faithful in keeping this
day and praying for its impact for
Jesus Christ on our campus and on
others to whom our influence
reaches.

Pictured above are eight members from the Girls' Chorus in their
new light blue robes. Through the help of the girls and the school, the
chorus was able to purchase forty-two robes from the E. R. Moore
Company. This is a big step toward the maintenance of a permanent

Plans Made for
Prospecti•v e Students
Norris Magnuson has been pla-ced
in charge of plans for Pros-pective
Student Days, which will
be April 14 and 15, the Wednes-day
and Thursday before Easter.
During the weekend between
quarters, letters will be sent to
the individuals who have request
ed information and to those sug-gested
by conference pastors.
An attempt is being made to
limit the attendance to graduates
and seniors (though not altogether
excluding juniors) and those who
have not been here before. This
limitation is due to the lack of
space. Bunks will be set up in the
boys' dorm recreation room, and
as many prospective students as
possible will share individual
rooms with the regular students.
Committees are being named to
handle transportation, programs,
campus tours, and discussions.
Sbindo to Speak
At Camera Club
Frank Shindo, seminary senior
and experienced photographer, has
chosen "Composition of Photo-graphs"
as his topic for the next
Camera Club meeting.
Tomorrow evening, March 13, at
8 p.m. is the time planned for the
meeting which will be held in
room 109 of the college building.
All students interested in pic-ture
taking are urged to attend.

. . . Shee-Rai
Five wins and one loss is the
record for the girls' basketball
team so far this year. Although
the boys' basketball season is over,
the girls still have more games
scheduled. The toughest game yet
remaining to be played is a return
game with Augsburg who defeated
Bethel during the first encounter.
The team has had a very suc-cessful
season beating Fairview
nurses, Spring Lake Park Baptist,
Northwestern and Elim Baptist,
while losing only to Augsburg.

B. Season Ends
The unheralded Bethel B bas-ketball
squad has finished its sea-son
with a much improved ball
club over its shapeless beginnings.
Under the direction of assistant
varsity-coach, Lynn Lundin, the
team showed the progress that al-lowed
them to finish the season
with a respectable won-lost record.
Earlier in the season the B
squad was having a very hard time
winding up on the right side of
the score board. The development
of John Walberg and Paul Sand-berg
caught on to winning ways.
Howard Johnson was always a
steadying influence and Jay Dik-kers
filled the hole especially
well. Jim MacFayden started B
squad and showed enough im-provement
to earn a varsity suit.
Don Quarnstrom, who hit many
points from out, was also a valu-able
asset to the team before his
injury.
Dave Seaquist, Paul Berg, Donn

Li'l Gorry the groundhog i s
soon going to be poking his head
from his hole for the third time
this school year at Bethel. The
athletic department, who knows
Li'l Gorry can't stand much ab-using,
has been waiting all year
for a chance to grab him . . . and
hang on. In fact, the news-scoop
is that they've acquired a rope
with a new type of chemical make-up
which contains a secret radical
known as "P.E." (Editor's note:
Li'l Gorry is of the phylum "Win-ningstreekis,"
not "Losingaspirit-niss.")
___ In the meantime, however, Li'l
Gorry is quite perturbed about the
complexity of his previous "above
the terra firma" episodes. He
came out of his hole last fall righr
in the middle of the football-field.
Such confusion! A gang of brutes
romped all over the field kick-ing
a pig around. Li'l Gorry, in
the midst of his frustration, was
mistaken for the pig and the
brutes battered him back and forth
for the entire third quarter. That
was it! Li'l Gorry crawled back
into his hole for the rest of the
season.
_.The second time Li'l Gorry came
out was in the middle of the Beth-el
field-house. The place was in
an uproar with lights so bright
he could hardly see anything.
Sometimes he couldn't see at all.
"B" Leaders &
Spring Sports
At a recent letterman's meeting
Norman Moore, a junior, was
elected president of the "Letter-man's
Club." Bruce Steinhaus was
elected vice - president and Jay
Dikkers and Carl Sundeen were
elected to positions of secretary
arid trea=3urer. These new officers,
with the counseling of Coaches
Del Ray Peterson and Lynn Lun-din,
have already swung into ac-tion
for a brilliant Royal future.
The first action to follow their
election was the athletic chapel
program at which the athletic a-wards
of the year were presented.
The second action was the estab-lishing
of a date and place for the
athletic banquet this spring. The
date set is April 10th.
But more important action than
those things already mentioned is
the creation of full-hearted inter-est
in the current schedule of
spring sports. The competition is
not push-over with any event of
any of the sports included. Base-ball
prospects are good! And with
a few lettermen back on the ten-nis
court again there's new encour-agement
for the new enthusiasts.
Track and golf are ready to flare,
too. But, it takes practice, prac-tice,
and more practice for a win-ning
team . . . and now. Presideni
Norman Moore urges all those in-terested
to sign up now in the
field house, or see Coach Del Ray
Peterson.
Once, in a state of this tempor-ary
blindness, he fell into a crack
(even though it's a new field-house)
and just decided to stay
there until he felt "good and
ready" to come out.
The lettermen's club sent him
a note the other day and invited
him to the athletic banquet. They
hope to influence him to stay on
the top side through the spring
quarter. But Li'l Garry answered
their invitation with this note:
"i'd rilly luv to cum up 'n travul
crose-cuntree, umpyre basebawl,
shute a burdy in golf, take a set
of tennus; but yu'd haf to rope me
gud befer I'd stey."
Contained herein lie the moans, groans, and the latest SKEE-RUTs
to hit the athletic aspiranteers of the Bethel Royal's fanfare . . Jim
MacFayden has been voted the "Hostess with the Mostess" for the
Edgren third floor party-line. On the grid-field he vied to hold a line
for just one play; at Edgren he can hold on for an hour. SKEE-RUT!
.. . A little bucket ball says that Don Stipe has adopted "The Ninety
and Nine" as his No. 1 concern now. But another little bucket ball
says "It Is No Secret" where the 100th is. SKEE-RUT! . .. Since there
was not enough snow for skiing and ski-jumps this winter, a few
notorious "Royaleers" decided to try a few runs down the clothes-chute.
The only casualties listed were a few secret bruises and peeled
knees. The sport was dropped (literally) when coach Wally Peterson
called for a substitution. SKEE-RUT! . . . Donn (Juan) Goss finagled
a '52 Blue Dragon. Immediately he established a "no lend" policy. He
learned from others—others live and learn. SKEE-RUT! . . . Ed Brun-zell
vowed a life-time contract with "barberous" Eric Borgeson and
Gene Messenger as first assistant. The contract includes no bowls, no
clippers, no experience, just scissors and lots of fingers. SKEE-RUT!
. . . "Dauntless" Dalton saw his reflection in a glass the other day. He
did the only natural thing he could think of. It took the king's men
thirty some stitches to put him together again. SKEE-RUT! . . • Duane
Pople wants his name in the CLARION—so does Jay Dikkers. SKEE-RUT!
. . . The greatest tragedy in Edgren is found in the room where
they can't prevent the smell of pop-corn from floating down the hall-way—
nobody "nose" the trouble they've been having. That room's
a "Paradise Lost." SKEET-RUT! .
